<h2><strong>Zöld kardamom egész gyümölcs - fűszer</strong><br><span style="color: rgb(248, 0, 0);" data-mce-style="color: #f80000;"><strong>Az ár 5 gramm csomagolásra vonatkozik.</strong></span><br></h2><p>A kardamom leggyakoribb formáját - a zöld kardamomot - ízesítőként használják, főleg a kávé és a tea számára.<br><br>Néhány közel-keleti országban a kávét és a kardamomot gyakran együtt főzik és őrlik egy mihbazban, kemencében, amely fát vagy gázt használ, és egy fa habarcsban negyven százalékos kardamom-keverék előállításához. Bizonyos kultúrákban az őrlést rituálizálják, és ének és tánc kíséri.<br><br>Az összes különféle kardamomfajt és fajtát elsősorban főzőfűszerként használják, mivel a kardamom erős, egyedi ízű, intenzíven aromás illatú. A fekete kardamom kifejezetten fanyarabb aromájú, bár nem keserű, a mentához hasonló hűvösséggel, bár más aromával. Ez az indiai főzés gyakori összetevője, és gyakran használják a sütéshez az északi országokban, például a finn édes kenyérpulla esetében. Ez az egyik legdrágább fűszer, tömegére alig van szükség. A kardamomot legjobban hüvely formájában lehet tárolni, mert ha a magok ki vannak téve vagy őrölve, gyorsan elveszítik ízüket. A jó minőségű őrölt kardamom azonban gyakran könnyebben (és olcsóbban) elérhető, és elfogadható helyettesítő. Azoknál a recepteknél, amelyek teljes kardamom hüvelyt igényelnek, az általánosan elfogadott egyenérték 10 hüvely egyenlő 1½ teáskanál őrölt kardamommal.</p>

The leaves are small oval, 2–5 centimetres (0.79–1.97 in) long and 1–2 centimetres (0.39–0.79 in) broad, with a serrated margin; they are borne in clusters of 2–5 together, subtended by a three-branched spine 3–8 mm long. The flowers are yellow, 4–6 millimetres (0.16–0.24 in) across, produced on 3–6 centimetres (1.2–2.4 in) long panicles in late spring. The fruit is an oblong red berry 7–10 millimetres (0.28–0.39 in) long and 3–5 millimetres (0.12–0.20 in) broad, ripening in late summer or autumn; they are edible but sour.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Culinary_uses">Culinary uses</span></h2> <p>The berries are edible and rich in vitamin C, though with a very sharp flavor; the thorny shrubs make harvesting them difficult, so in most places, they are not widely consumed. They are an important food for many small birds, which disperse the seeds in their droppings.</p> <p>In Europe, the berries have been traditionally used as an ingredient in making jam. The berries are high in pectin which makes the jam congeal as it cools after having been boiled. In southwestern Asia, especially Iran, the berries are used for cooking, as well as for jam-making. In Iran, barberries are commonly used as a currant in rice pilaf.</p> <p><i>Zereshk</i> or <i>sereshk</i> is the Persian name for the dried fruit of <i>Berberis</i> spp., specially that of <i>Berberis integerrima</i> 'Bidaneh', which is widely cultivated in Iran.

About 85% of production is in Qaen and about 15% in Birjand. There is evidence of cultivation of seedless barberry in South Khorasan two hundred years ago. A garden of <i>zereshk</i> is called <i>zereshk-estan</i>. Zereshk is widely used in cooking, imparting a tart flavor to chicken dishes. It is usually cooked with rice, called <i>zereshk polo</i>, and provides a nice meal with chicken.</p>

<h2><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">Allspice or pimenta spice</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#d0121a;font-size:14pt;">The price is for packaging of 10 grams of this spice.</span></strong></h2> <p><b>Allspice</b>, also called <b>pimenta</b>, <b>Jamaica pimenta</b>, or <b>myrtle pepper</b>, is the dried unripe fruit(berries, used as a spice) of <i>Pimenta dioica</i>, a midcanopy tree native to the Greater Antilles, southern Mexico, and Central America, now cultivated in many warm parts of the world.The name "allspice" was coined as early as 1621 by the English, who thought it combined the flavour of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.</p> <p>Several unrelated fragrant shrubs are called "Carolina allspice" (<i>Calycanthus floridus</i>), "Japanese allspice" (<i>Chimonanthus praecox</i>), or "wild allspice" (<i>Lindera benzoin</i>). "Allspice" is also sometimes used to refer to the herb costmary (<i>Tanacetum balsamita</i>)</p> <p>Allspice is the dried fruit of the <i>Pimenta dioica</i> plant. The fruits are picked when green and unripe and are traditionally dried in the sun. When dry they are brown and resemble large, smooth peppercorns. Fresh leaves are similar in texture to bay leaves and similarly used in cooking. Leaves and wood are often used for smoking meats where allspice is a local crop.</p> <p>Care must be taken during drying to ensure that volatile oil, such as eugenol, remains in the end products. Allspice can also be found in essential oil form.</p> <p>Allspice is one of the most important ingredients of Caribbean cuisine. It is used in Jamaican jerk seasoning (the wood is used to smoke jerk in Jamaica, although the spice is a good substitute), in <i>moles</i>, and in pickling; it is also an ingredient in commercial sausage preparations and curry powders. Allspice is also indispensable in Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly in the Levant, where it is used to flavour a variety of stews and meat dishes. In Arab cuisine, for example, many main dishes call for allspice as the sole spice added for flavouring. In the West Indies, an allspice liqueur is produced under the name "pimento dram" due to conflation of <i>pimenta</i> and <i>pimento</i>.</p> <p>In the United States, it is used mostly in desserts, but it is also responsible for giving Cincinnati-style chili its distinctive aroma and flavor. Allspice is commonly used in Great Britain, and appears in many dishes, including cakes and also in beauty products. In Poland, allspice is used in a variety of dishes, including savory foods like deli meats, soups, marinades and pickles, and to a lesser extent in desserts and fruit drinks. Even in many countries where allspice is not very popular in the household, as in Germany, it is used in large amounts by commercial sausage makers.</p>

The main flower stem is 40–60 cm (16–24 in) tall, with small white or pink flowers in umbels. Caraway fruits(erroneously called seeds) are crescent-shaped achenes, around 2 mm (0.08 in) long, with five pale ridges. The fruits, usually used whole, have a pungent, anise-like flavor and aroma that comes from essential oils, mostly carvone, limonene, and anethole. Caraway is used as a spice in breads, especially rye bread.</p> <p>Caraway is also used in desserts, liquors, casseroles, and other foods. It is also found in European cuisine. For example, it is used in caraway seed cake. The roots may be cooked as a vegetable like parsnips or carrots. Additionally, the leaves are sometimes consumed as herbs, either raw, dried, or cooked, similar to parsley.</p> <p>In Serbia, caraway is commonly sprinkled over home-made salty scones (<i>pogačice s kimom</i>). It is also used to add flavor to cheeses such as <i>bondost, pultost</i>, <i>havarti</i> and <i>Tilsit cheese</i>. Scandinavian <i>Akvavit</i>, including Icelandic Brennivin, and several liqueurs are made with caraway.In Middle Eastern cuisine, caraway pudding, called Meghli, is a popular dessert during Ramadan. It is typically made and served in the Levant area in winter and on the occasion of having a new baby. Caraway is also added to flavor <i>harissa</i>, a Tunisian chili pepper paste. In Aleppian, Syr ian cuisine it is used to make the sweet scones named <i>keleacha</i>.</p> <p>Caraway fruit oil is also used as a fragrance component in soaps, lotions, and perfumes. Caraway is also used as a breath freshener, and it has a long tradition of use in folk medicine.</p> <p>In the United States, the most common use of caraway is whole as an addition to rye bread. Often called seeded rye or Jewish rye bread. Caraway fruits are frequently used in Irish soda bread, along with raisins and currants.</p> </body> </html>

They are also planted to grow <i>saag</i>(greens) which are stir-fried and eaten as a vegetable preparation, called <i>sarson ka saag</i> in Urdu and Hindi (<i>sarron da saag</i> in Punjabi).</p> <p>In Maharashtra, it is called as <i>mohari</i>, and is used frequently in Marathi recipes. <i>Sarson ka tel</i> (mustard oil) is used for body massage during extreme winters, as it is assumed to keep the body warm.

Major producers of mustard seeds include India, Pakistan, Canada, Nepal, Hungary, Great Britain and the United States. Brown and black mustard seeds return higher yields than their yellow counterparts. In Pakistan, rapeseed-mustard is the second most important source of oil, after cotton. It is cultivated over an area of 307,000 hectares with annual production of 233,000 tonnes and contributes about 17% to the domestic production of edible oil. Mustard seeds are a rich source of oil and protein. The seed has oil as high as 46-48%, and whole seed meal has 43.6% protein.</p>

All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds are the parts most traditionally used in cooking.</p> <p>Most people perceive the taste of coriander leaves as a tart, lemon/lime taste, but a smaller group, of about 4–14% of people tested, think the leaves taste like bath soap, as linked to a gene which detects aldehyde chemicals also present in soap.<span>Raw coriander leaves are 92% water, 4% </span>carbohydrates<span>, 2% </span>protein<span>, and less than 1% </span>fat<span>(table). The nutritional profile of coriander seeds is different from the fresh stems or leaves. In a 100 gram reference amount, leaves are particularly rich in </span>vitamin A<span>, </span>vitamin C<span> and </span>vitamin K<span>, with moderate content of </span>dietary minerals<span> (table). Although seeds generally have lower content of vitamins, they do provide significant amounts of </span>dietary fiber<span>, </span>calcium<span>, </span>selenium<span>, </span>iron<span>, </span>magnesium<span> and </span>manganese<span>.</span></p> <p>The leaves are variously referred to as coriander leaves, fresh coriander, dhania, Chinese parsley, or (in the US and commercially in Canada) cilantro.</p> <p>Coriander potentially may be confused with culantro (<i>Eryngium foetidum</i> L.), an Apiaceae like coriander (<i>Coriandrum sativum</i> L.), but from a different genus. Culantro has a distinctly different spiny appearance, a more potent volatile leaf oil and a stronger aroma.</p> <p>The leaves have a different taste from the seeds, with citrus overtones.</p> <p>The fresh leaves are an ingredient in many South Asian foods (such as chutneys and salads); in Chinese, Thai, and Burmese dishes; in Mexican cooking, particularly in salsa and guacamoleand as a garnish; and in salads in Russia and other CIS countries. In Portugal, chopped coriander is used in the bread soup Açorda, and in India, chopped coriander is a garnish on Indian dishes such as <i>dal</i>. As heat diminishes their flavour, coriander leaves are often used raw or added to the dish immediately before serving. In Indian and Central Asian recipes, coriander leaves are used in large amounts and cooked until the flavour diminishes. The leaves spoil quickly when removed from the plant, and lose their aroma when dried or frozen.</p> <p>The dry fruits are known as coriander seeds. The word "coriander" in food preparation may refer solely to these seeds (as a spice), rather than to the plant. The seeds have a lemony citrus flavour when crushed, due to terpenes linalool and pinene. It is described as warm, nutty, spicy, and orange-flavoured.</p> <p>The variety <i>C. s. vulgare</i> has a fruit diameter of 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in), while var. <i>C. s. microcarpum</i> fruits have a diameter of 1.5–3 mm (0.06–0.12 in). Large-fruited types are grown mainly by tropical and subtropical countries, e.g. Morocco, India, and Australia, and contain a low volatile oil content (0.1-0.4%). They are used extensively for grinding and blending purposes in the spice trade. Types with smaller fruit are produced in temperate regions and usually have a volatile oil content around 0.4-1.8%, so are highly valued as a raw material for the preparation of essential oil.</p>

Both genera are native to the </span>Indian subcontinent<span> and </span>Indonesia<span>. They are recognized by their small seed pods: triangular in cross-section and spindle-shaped, with a thin, papery outer shell and small, black seeds; </span><i>Elettaria</i><span> pods are light green and smaller, while </span><i>Amomum</i><span> pods are larger and dark brown. </span></span>Cardamom is a native to Kerala, Karnataka and the forests of the Western Ghats of Southwestern India. The first references to cardamom are found in Sumer, and in the Ayurvedic literatures of India. Nowadays, it is also cultivated in some other countries, such as Guatemala, Malaysia and Tanzania. The German coffee planter Oscar Majus Kloeffer introduced Indian cardamom (<i>kerala</i>) to cultivation in Guatemala before World War I; by 2000, that country had become the biggest producer and exporter of cardamom in the world, followed by India.<sup id="cite_ref-karun_5-0" class="reference"> </sup>Cardamom is the world's third-most expensive spice, surpassed in price per weight only by vanilla and saffron.</p> <p>Both forms of cardamom are used as flavourings and cooking spices in both food and drink, and as a medicine. <i>E. cardamomum</i> (green cardamom) is used as a spice, a masticatory, and in medicine; it is also smoked.</p> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"> <div class="thumbcaption">Besides use as flavourant and spice in foods, cardamom-flavoured tea, also flavoured with cinnamon, is consumed as a hot beverage in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan.</div> </div> </div> <p>Cardamom has a strong, unique taste, with an intensely aromatic, resinous fragrance. Black cardamom has a distinctly more smoky, though not bitter, aroma, with a coolness some consider similar to mint.</p> <p>Green cardamom is one of the most expensive spices by weight, but little is needed to impart flavour. It is best stored in the pod, as exposed or ground seeds quickly lose their flavour. Grinding the pods and seeds together lowers both the quality and the price. For recipes requiring whole cardamom pods, a generally accepted equivalent is 10 pods equals ​<span class="frac nowrap">1<span class="visualhide"> </span><sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub></span> teaspoons of ground cardamom.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"></sup></p> <p>It is a common ingredient in Indian cooking. It is also often used in baking in the Nordic countries, in particular in Sweden, Norway, and Finland, where it is used in traditional treats such as the Scandinavian Jule bread <i>Julekake</i>, the Swedish <i>kardemummabullar</i> sweet bun, and Finnish sweet bread <i>pulla</i>. In the Middle East, green cardamom powder is used as a spice for sweet dishes, as well as traditional flavouring in coffee and tea. Cardamom is used to a wide extent in savoury dishes. In some Middle Eastern countries, coffee and cardamom are often ground in a wooden mortar, a <i>mihbaj</i>, and cooked together in a skillet, a <i>mehmas</i>, over wood or gas, to produce mixtures as much as 40% cardamom.</p> <p>In Asia, both types of cardamom are widely used in both sweet and savory dishes, particularly in the south. Both are frequent components in spice mixes, such as Indian and Nepali masalas and Thai curry pastes. Green cardamom is often used in traditional Indian sweets and in <i>masala chai</i> (spiced tea). Both are also often used as a garnish in basmati rice and other dishes. Individual seeds are sometimes chewed and used in much the same way as chewing gum. It is used by confectionery giant Wrigley; its Eclipse Breeze Exotic Mint packaging indicates the product contains "cardamom to neutralize the toughest breath odors". It is also included in aromatic bitters, gin, and herbal teas.</p> <p>In Korea, medicinal cardamom (<i>Amomum villosum</i> var. <i>xanthioides</i>) and black cardamom (<i>Amomum tsao-ko</i>) are used in traditional tea called <i>jeho-tang</i>.</p> <p>The content of essential oil in the seeds is strongly dependent on storage conditions, but may be as high as 8%. In the oil were found α-terpineol 45%, myrcene 27%, limonene8%, menthone 6%, β-phellandrene 3%, 1,8-cineol 2%, sabinene 2% and heptane 2%. Other sources report 1,8-cineol (20 to 50%), [[α-terpenylacetate In the seeds of round cardamom from Java (<i>A. kepulaga</i>), the content of essential oil is lower (2 to 4%), and the oil contains mainly 1,8-cineol (up to 70%) plus β-pinene (16%); furthermore, α-pinene, α-terpineol and humulene were found.</p> </body> </html>

You might also want to try Madagascar Peppercorns in dried food products. From tomatoes to home-made beef jerky, these peppercorns can make it seem like your dried foods were slowly cooked for days on an outdoor camp fire. In addition, vegans and vegetarians craving the smoky flavor of bacon or meat products will love the ‘oak and hickory’ taste imparted by Madagascar Peppercorns.</span></span></p>

It is also known as </span><i>green mustard cabbage</i><span>. </span></span></p> <p>The leaves, seeds, and stems of this mustard variety are edible. The plant appears in some form in African, Bangladeshi, Chinese, Italian, Indian, Japanese, Nepali, Pakistani, Korean, and African-American (soul food) cuisines. Cultivars of <i>B. juncea</i> are grown for their greens, and for the production of oilseed. The mustard condiment made from the seeds of the <i>B. juncea</i> is called brown mustard and is considered to be spicier than yellow mustard.</p> <p>Because it may contain erucic acid, a potential toxin, mustard oil is restricted from import as a vegetable oil into the United States. Essential oil of mustard, however, is accepted as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe). But in Russia, this is the main species grown for the production of mustard oil. It is widely used in canning, baking and margarine production in Russia, and the majority of Russian table mustard is also made from <i>B. juncea</i>.</p> <p>The leaves are used in African cooking, and all plant parts are used in Nepali cuisine, particularly in the mountain regions of Nepal, as well as in the Punjab cuisine of India and Pakistan, where a dish called <i>sarson da saag</i> (mustard greens) is prepared. <i>B. juncea</i> subsp. <i>tatsai</i>, which has a particularly thick stem, is used to make the Nepali pickle called <i>achar</i>, and the Chinese pickle <i>zha cai</i>.</p> <p>The Gorkhas of Darjeeling, Sikkim and Nepal prepare pork with mustard greens (also called <i>rayo</i> in Nepali). It is usually eaten with relish and steamed rice, but can also be eaten with <i>roti</i> (griddle breads). In Nepal it is also a common practice to cook these greens with meat of all sorts specially goat meat; which is normally prepared in a pressure cooker with minimal use of spices to focus on the flavour of the greens and dry chillies. <i>Brassica juncea</i> (especially the seeds) is more pungent than greens from the closely related <i>Brassica oleracea</i> (kale, broccoli, and collard greens),<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference">[8]</sup> and is frequently mixed with these milder greens in a dish of "mixed greens".</p> <p>Chinese and Japanese cuisines also make use of mustard greens. In Japanese cuisine, it is known as <i>takana</i> and often pickled for use as filling in onigiri or as a condiment. Many varieties of <i>B. juncea</i> cultivars are used, including <i>zha cai</i>, <i>mizuna</i>, <i>takana</i> (var. <i>integrifolia</i>), <i>juk gai choy</i>, and <i>xuelihong</i>. Asian mustard greens are most often stir-friedor pickled. A Southeast Asian dish called <i>asam gai choy</i> or <i>kiam chai boey</i> is often made with leftovers from a large meal. It involves stewing mustard greens with tamarind, dried chillies and leftover meat on the bone. Brassica juncea is also known as <i>gai choi</i>, <i>siu gai choi</i>, <i>xaio jie cai</i>, baby mustard, Chinese leaf mustard or <i>mostaza</i>.</p>
